James Brayshaw selects
Courtney Walsh

He's lucky. Spent a bit of time last contemplating the Walsh and McGrath combo. Broad with 100+ at Lords tipped it.

As did 1984-2001. That's 17 years of WI players I'd be blocking off from selecting.

I know.

Sorry Eth.

Cricket I do feel more out of my depth than footy though so I only really know of the mainstream names.

Keeping it mainstream, Freddie Flintoff.

Time for a reggie double.

Williams is a good bat who's left arm tweakers are handy at test level, averaging low 40's with the bat and high 40's with the ball. Could he have lasted later? Yeah, definitely but this way I can focus on some of the stronger teams of this era in Australia, New Zealand, England, India, West Indies and Pakistan. I can also still get another Sri Lankan or South African here.

Liton Das is underrated on the world stage. He's very tidy with the gloves and also averages 38 with them on (above his career average of 35). In an era overrun with strong bowlers from strong nations, why wouldn't I wait on them and get the best bats from the weaker nations?

 

[whatwhatsaywhat]

i always wondered what would have happened if he'd played in the same side as williamson; the kiwis could've been the greatest team of their era

Ben Stokes - England - all-rounder - 2020s

The_Reaper , i think yr up
